kinda....the inner east and ne is more dual income, 100k hipster households and gentrified or gentrifying neighborhoods. there is still some semblance of old, inner city portland left but their neighbors probably drive an electric car and eat organic food. the west is "big city" portland, high density everybody. and up the hill is where the big money is. over the hill, is the really tech money in washington county. "may or may not be working" in a punk rock band, barista portland got priced out about 10 years ago. i dont know where they live now. the urban frontier has shifted about 4 times in the last 8 years or so. outer east is still pretty working class but the hipster home owners are creeping over the 82nd line too.
